Stone Cottage, Killiney, Co Dublin Sherry Fitzgerald
For the past 20 years, we've wanted to pack up everything and jet to Surrey in the UK to live our best lives (and hopefully fall in love) in the gorgeous setting of the movie "The Holiday".
If, like us, you were devastated to find out that the quaint cottage from the cult classic rom-com never actually existed, never fret as just a stone's throw away in Killiney, one just as similar exists.

Stone Cottage, located between Killiney Hill Park and Mullins Hill, boasts a vintage exterior but has renovated interiors, combining a bit of charm with modern living.
Dating from circa 1950 the property, upon entrance, briefly comprises of an entrance porch with tiled flooring, and an endearing living space in which the walls are furnished with the original stone.
The focal point of the room is a wood-burning stone framed with a rustic wooden mantelpiece- the idyllic setting for a cozy winter's evening in.
We can totally see ourselves channeling our inner Cameron Diaz and rockin' out to The Killers' Mr Brightside in this living room!
A kitchen is set to the rear of the home, boasting a tall ceiling and an Aga.

Though there isn't much room for dancing around, we envision a lot of delicious baking taking place here, should that be what your heart desires.
And who knows? Maybe within these four walls is where you'll find yourself falling in love with your very own Mr Napkin Head!
A charming double bedroom, that features hardwood flooring and a shower room, and a second bedroom complete the accommodation.
The rom-com magic extends to the property's exterior, where a beautiful garden lies. According to its listing, the green area has been carefully curated over a decade 'with the aim of creating a bio-diverse and sustainable habitat for both humans and nature'.
The garden is a serene, retreat-worthy oasis, complete with the original granite wall and laid with Wicklow river-washed stone. It boasts an array of gorgeous flora from jasmines and roses to native Irish fuchsia and snowdrops.
For additional storage, the garden also features a wooden potting shed.
